>>> "One noticeable aspect to the wrist band, other than helping circulation (my hand feels noticeably warmer), is that my car stereo has better bass, lower midrange and dynamics. Hanging my arm, wristband on, outside the window shows a reduction in the same frequency response range. Interesting...." <<<
Of course it is Interesting - surely it should be more than that unclestu !! I would think that because you are what would be regarded as a 'professional in audio' and therefore, as a 'professional in audio', you should now begin to realise that any customer entering your showroom or demonstration room wearing a similar wrist band would affect the sound in your demonstration room - then, when they leave, the sound would not be as good !!!! Surely, as a 'professional in audio' you should be investigating anything which can affect 'sound' and not merely commenting that it is 'Interesting' ?
We have been doing things like that and experiencing things like that for over 25 years !!!
After making our remarkable discoveries over 25 years ago, we realised that, with Hi Fi retailers intending demonstrating ours (and other manufacturers) State of the Art Hi Fi equipment, that it could not be left to the vagaries of the various Hi Fi retailers not being aware of just what can affect 'sound'. So, we set about attempting to describe to them what is happening - in exactly the same way that Ivor Tiefenbrum had done earlier, when he had realised that passive loudspeakers, spread willy nilly around retailers demonstration rooms, were adversely affecting the sound of the loudspeakers actually being listened to. And, as I have explained on numerous occasions, it was our investigations regarding Ivor's observations which resulted in our major breakthroughs re audio. Our investigations led us to appreciate just what an adverse effect on 'sound' that magnets and batteries have !!
You can apply a strip of our Foil to the back of your wrist watch, or apply a small amount of our Cream-Electret to the face of your wrist watch and improve your sound !!! Remove your wrist watch from your wrist and take it out of the room and the sound will not be as good. And, before you make your usual comment that our Foils MUST somehow be dealing with RF interference, then we also have simple 'treated' CLEAR FILM which is equally as effective - is NOT a Foil and therefore cannot remotely be considered to be 'dealing with' RF !! Nor does our Cream-Electret 'deal with' RF or EMI or Static !!
What I find surprising is that you are only now experiencing such things as you have just described. Such things as you (and I) describe were a 'P.W.B party trick', carried out by many audio equipment reviewers in the UK on unsuspecting visitors to their homes way back some 20 years ago !!!!!! Why has it just now come as a surprise to you - surely if you (as you do) claim to know anything about us, you should know of these things already ? A similar 'party trick' was done with 'treated' spectacles (treated spectacle frames) i.e listen wearing 'treated' spectacles and the sound would be good, then remove those spectacles, listen again and the sound would not be as good !! All this has been common knowledge to so many people for years.
One serious point unclestu. The wrist band was NOT affecting the signal carried by the car stereo - it was affecting YOU and how YOU resolved the sound information already in the car - information already presented into the car by the car stereo but which YOU had not been resolving correctly (before wearing the wrist band) !!!!!!!
My next question to you is "When you come to remove the wrist band permanently, what are YOU going to do to maintain that better sound from your car stereo ?"
I will turn your other question to me back to you. "What exactly are YOU going to measure that will tell you why your sound from the car stereo was better with the wrist band inside the car and worse when the wrist band was held outside the car.?"
I can already anticipate your next question to me. "If, as you say May, that the wrist band is affecting ME and how I resolve the sound, surely the sound would be the same with the wrist band both inside the car and held outside the car - as I was wearing the wrist band both times ?" My answer would then be "When the wrist band was in the car, even though it was on your wrist, it was STILL affecting that (inside the car) environment. When you held the wrist band outside the car, you changed that (inside the car) environment - and it is the (inside the car) environment you are reacting to. Change that and you change the sound."
